odbc_prepare

Description

resourceodbc_prepare
( resource$connection_id
, string$query_string
)

Prepares a statement for execution. The result identifier can be used
later to execute the statement with odbc_execute().

Some databases (such as IBM DB2, MS SQL Server, and Oracle) support
stored procedures that accept parameters of type IN, INOUT, and OUT as
defined by the ODBC specification. However, the Unified ODBC driver
currently only supports parameters of type IN to stored procedures.

If you need to call a stored procedure using INOUT or OUT parameters,
the recommended workaround is to use a native extension for your database
(for example, mssql for MS SQL Server,
or oci8 for Oracle).
